    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    For any spontaneous process dG⩽0,dA⩽0
    And usually spontaneous process takes place when there are finite differences so, the process will be usually irreversible.
    Hence dG < 0\,\,\& \,\,dH < 0
    So, free energy goes on decreasing and when the finite difference becomes infinitesimal difference it becomes constant.
